What is really uncool is when this forum is used either to generate traffic, or to bolster a presence on the Internet via shills and spammers. This is not the first time we've caught shills in our forum from Casinofan.com...
For those not up to snuff on some of the forum lingo, here is a pretty good definition of what a shill is:
Some of you may remember a thread from last summer when Casinojan was busted out in this forum for spamming and shilling.
https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/spammers-name-and-shame-time.33048/
The spammer was named, shamed and banned. I thought that was the last time we'd hear from Casinofan.com. Well...I was wrong. Here we have a "new" MissB (there is no space between the Miss and B).

It's the same person. When you are banned, you are banned. Don't come back.
And then we have other associated accounts - and this is a real shame since at least one of these members was active and seemed to be getting along with others. Perhaps this was part of the scheme.

A quick Google search gives me this page:

It's a press release by....(drum roll please)...Lou Fabiano. The presumed owner of SouthBeachBingo.com and Casinofan.com

I did a Google search on 4spades.com and guess what - another article written by Lou Fabiano, and <gasp!> 4spades.com is in his signature:
For shits and giggles, one can meander over to Casinofan.com's forum and witness these characters shilling these websites in the guise of real players. I guess some people either have too much time on their hands, or they're being paid to do this. It sounds like someone having a conversation with himself. .
Here we have Jazzyjay initiating a thread that leads to the plugging of Southbeachbingo.

Jazzyjay's IP is identical to another member benjaminw who has a Lou Fabiano owned website email address.
Jazzyjay's IP address is also identical to the Professor's
So what the hell? It's time for these people to find another line of business like selling shoes or Amway or something that doesn't involve online gaming.
How sad and pathetic
Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive...
For those not up to snuff on some of the forum lingo, here is a pretty good definition of what a shill is:
A shill is a person who is paid to help another person or organization to sell goods or services. The shill pretends to have no association with the seller/group and gives onlookers the impression that he or she is an enthusiastic customer. The person or group that hires the shill is using crowd psychology, to encourage other onlookers or audience members (who are unaware of the set-up) to purchase said goods or services. Shills are often employed by confidence artists.

https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/just-a-warning-to-other-bingo-players.38050/Thanks for the warning. Does anyone know anything about Southbeachbingo.com? The site seams cool but has anyone ever played there? I have never played bingo online.

I think 4Spades.com seams like a pretty neat site for Spades. It just takes you to Spadester though but I liked the information it gave on strategy and stuff like that. There is a whole page for frequently asked questions too I am going to look around and try a few other places out. I think I know someone who plays on one site but I cannot remember the name. I will ask her tonight what it's called. She is totally addicted to it and has so many friends from the chat room in it. Lol! Will let you all know when I ask her.
